Knives & Pens

Caroline looked at Andy with a look of confusion, she couldn’t believe he said that to her. She knew he would have a problem with it, since her sister warned her about him and his band. But she was Pandora’s aunt, and Andy was just a friend, Andy had no right to tell that she couldn’t take her niece somewhere where she wouldn’t get hurt. Her sister told her ever since Pandora moved in with Andy, she’s been getting hurt, and Caroline wasn’t going to let some guy hurt her niece, she even thought Andy could possibly be abusing her.
“Excuse me? Pandora is my niece, you’re not part of the family so she is not your responsibility and you cannot decide for her.”
“I’m not deciding for her, and if I remember correctly, she agreed to move in with me. And she’s eighteen years old, which does make her an adult, and she doesn’t need her aunt coming in and taking her away from the place she calls home!” Andy hissed through his teeth, Pandora looked at Caroline and then at Andy, not sure what to say during this situation.
“I don’t care if she’s eighteen or not, she’s coming home with me.” Caroline said, she looked at Pandora and stroked her hair. “You’re coming home with me, right?”
Pandora looked at Caroline. “I don’t know you, I’m staying with Andy..”
Caroline’s eyes went wide and she looked at Andy, then looked at everyone in the room in confusion. “What does she mean she doesn’t know me?”
Chris swallowed hard and approached Caroline, pulling her away from Pandora so she wouldn’t hear them talking. “Pandora is experiencing memory loss, it’s not permanent, the Doctors say she’ll start regaining her memory in a few days.”
Caroline’s jaw dropped, she couldn’t believe her niece had memory loss, she looked at Andy.
“What exactly happened? Were you speeding?” Caroline asked through her teeth, almost as if she was guessing Andy was speeding.
“I was not speeding! A guy ran a red light and hit us, don’t you dare blame that car accident on me!”
“If she stayed home, where she belongs, with her parents! She wouldn’t be in this situation.” Caroline hissed, Andy stood up, Chris rushed to Andy’s side and made sure he didn’t fall or anything.
“If I left her with her parents, she probably wouldn’t be here today!” Andy hissed angrily, Caroline had no words she was speechless now, she didn’t had anything else to say towards Andy.
The door opened and Pandora’s doctor came into the room, he looked at everyone and gave a soft, polite smile.
“If it’s okay that you all can step out of the room, so we can leave Pandora to rest?” The doctor said, Chris nodded and so did Amy.
“Yes sir, come on Andy.”
Andy sat back down in the wheelchair and Chris pushed him out of the room, Amy and Caroline walked out of the room when Andy’s nurse took ahold of the wheelchair and started to push Andy back to his room. But Caroline stop her, and got in front of Andy.
“Once she regains her memory, I will come back and speak with her and she will decide what she wants, if she wants to stay here with you that’s fine, but if she comes with me you will never see her again, do you understand me?” Caroline said, Andy gave her an angry look and crossed his arms over his chest. Caroline nodded, and walked away.
“I don’t like her.” Andy said, Amy chuckled.
“I’m not too big on her neither Andrew.”
Once Andy was back in his room and back in his bed, he took a nap and tried to rest, even though his mind was racing fast with thoughts of Pandora wanting to leave him and go with her aunt and Juliet possibly being pregnant…




~3 days later~

Andy was released from the hospital today, he was glad he was finally leaving, since he never did like hospitals in the beginning. Pandora regained her memory quicker than the Doctor’s thought, and when she found out about her aunt, she was beyond pissed off. Andy has not heard anything from Juliet since she day she told him she thinks she might be pregnant, he didn’t know what happened there but he was still expecting to hear something from her eventually. Ashley and Jake entered his room, seeing him standing up and getting ready to leave.
“You want to stay? We could leave you here.” Jake said jokingly, Andy looked at him.
“Uh no thanks, I’m leaving.” Andy replied, Ashley and Jake laughed.
“Awesome then let’s go, Jinxx and CC are with Pandora and she’s ready.” Ashley said, Andy put on his jacket and headed for the door. Ashley and Jake followed him as he headed for Pandora’s room, she was standing up and laughing about something CC said. Andy walked into the room and Pandora saw him, she jumped up from the bed and took off running towards him and hugged him tightly. She has missed him, a lot actually, and was glad they were leaving and actually hugging properly now.
“I missed you!” Pandora said, Andy chuckled and hugged her back and stroked her hair.
“I missed you too, if we ever end up in the hospital again, I’m making them put you in my room.” Andy said, Pandora pulled away and smiled at him.
“Slumber party!” She said, Andy chuckled and so did everyone else.
“Pandora,” said a female’s voice behind Andy, Andy looked behind him and saw Caroline standing there in the doorway. Pandora bit her bottom lip and looked at Andy, Andy gave her a look and sighed softly.
“Come on guys, let’s give them a minute.” Andy said, walking away and out into the hallway. The guys slowly left the room, and Caroline closed the door and began her conversation with Pandora.
“Are you and Andy dating?” Caroline asked, Pandora gasped and looked at her aunt.
“No Caroline! He’s just a friend, my best friend.” Pandora replied, Caroline nodded.
“Okay, and he’s also a rockstar, correct?”
“Yeah.” Pandora replied, Caroline watched Pandora sit down on the hospital bed.
“There you go, there’s a reason you can’t stay with him. He goes on tour, he has photo shoots, autograph signings, concerts. All of that, he doesn’t have time to take care of you.”
“Um, he’s doing just fine. And I’m eighteen, not eight, Caroline I can handle myself. And I’m going to start looking for a job this weekend, and I’ll save up enough money for my own place. But I’m sorry, I’m not moving in with you, I’m staying with Andy.” Pandora said, Caroline sighed.
“I’m really hoping your not making a mistake.”
“I’m not, I’m eighteen years old, I can handle myself. And I want to stay with Andy, and he wants me to stay with him too.” Pandora said, she grabbed her Ipod and hugged her aunt.
“But what I’m saying is, if he starts to get busy, your going to feel left out.” Caroline said, hugging Pandora back.
“Caroline, I’m not going to feel that, he has his life, his dream, his career, his fans. I’m not expecting him to drop that for me, I’m expecting him to do what he’s been doing before he even met me. I’ll be fine, and I’m sorry but I have to go now. I’ll talk to you soon.” Pandora said, she opened the door and saw the guys leaning up against the wall waiting patiently, well Andy looked a little bit in a hurry, but he was only in a hurry to get Pandora away from Caroline.
“You ready?” Andy asked her, Pandora nodded and the six of them walked down the hallway to the elevator, leaving Caroline in thought…




Andy and Pandora was relieved to be home at least, as soon as they got home they dropped onto the couches and just laid there. The TV was off, everything was quiet, it was peaceful. It was perfect, but as Andy laid there, he thought about telling Pandora about the whole situation with Juliet, but he couldn’t decide one hundred percent, it was like he wanted to tell her because he felt like he could tell her anything but then he felt apprehensive about telling her.
“Hey Pandora,” Andy said, she lifted her head up from the pillow and looked at him. “I want to tell you something, and I need your honest opinion.”
Pandora nodded. “You know I’ll give you my honest opinion rather you want it or not.”
Andy chuckled and nodded. “True.. But um, Juliet, um.. Might be pregnant.”
Pandora’s eyes widen, and she stared at Andy for the longest time it seemed like before she said anything. “Wait, your going to be a daddy?!”
Andy shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know, she was supposed to take a test and tell me if she is pregnant or not.”
“Wait a minute, is it even yours?” Pandora asked, sitting up now with her legs crossed under her and the couch pillow resting in her lap. Andy shrugged his shoulders again, and ran his fingers through his hair, he was honestly stressed out.
“I honestly don’t know, she said if she is pregnant it’s mine, but how do I know that?”
“Exactly,” Pandora said, then she paused for a few minutes. “And if she is pregnant, are you going to get back together with her?”
Andy stopped and thought at that question, he didn’t even know, he never even thought about it. “I don’t know.”
Pandora gave him a small smile. “I’m here for you, Batman.” She said, Andy smiled.
“Thanks, Robin.”
Andy watched her lay down on her side and cuddle the pillow in her arms, he chuckled softly and watched her as she closed her eyes. He was glad she didn’t went with her aunt, that would honestly break his heart. He still had her, and he was hoping he would have her forever, one way or another. He watched her fall to sleep, and once she did he laid down and took a nap. As the two of them laid asleep on the couch, Pandora cuddling the couch pillow and Andy cuddling a blanket the sun began to set outside. And when it the clock ticked to 7:00, the doorbell ringed, making Andy jump up and waking Pandora up immediately.
Andy groaned and got up from the couch. “Who is that?” He moaned, Pandora didn’t know who would that be. She heard Andy open the door, and then a few seconds of silence. “Uh, hi.” Andy said…
